I will sing | to the LORD,*
because he has dealt bountifully | with me.
Consider and answer me, O | LORD my God;*
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the | sleep of death,
lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed | over him,”*
lest my foes rejoice because I am | shaken.
But I have trusted in your | steadfast love;*
my heart shall rejoice in your sal- | vation.
GLORY BE TO THE FATHER AND | TO THE SON*
AND TO THE HOLY | SPIRIT;
AS IT WAS IN THE BE- | GINNING,*
IS NOW, AND WILL BE FOREVER. | AMEN.
I will sing | to the LORD,*
because he has dealt bountifully | with me.

COLLECT OF THE DAY
O Lord, keep Your family the Church continually in the true faith that, relying on the hope
of Your heavenly grace, we may ever be defended by Your mighty power; through Jesus
Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and forever. Amen. [SIT]
OLD TESTAMENT READING ................................................... ISAIAH 40:21-31
21
Do you not know? Do you not hear?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
23
who brings princes to nothing,
and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.
24
Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth,
when he blows on them, and they wither,
and the tempest carries them off like stubble.
25
To whom then will you compare me,
that I should be like him? says the Holy One.
26
Lift up your eyes on high and see:
who created these?
He who brings out their host by number,
calling them all by name,
by the greatness of his might,
and because he is strong in power
not one is missing.
27
Why do you say, O Jacob,
and speak, O Israel,
“My way is hidden from the LORD,
and my right is disregarded by my God”?
28
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
29
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31
but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
GRADUAL .......................................................................... PS. 117:1-2A; 96:8
Praise the LORD, all | nations!*
Extol him, all | peoples!
For great is his steadfast | love toward us,*
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for- | ever.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory | due his name;*
bring an offering, and come in- | to his courts!
EPISTLE READING .................................................... 1 CORINTHIANS 9:16-27
16
For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid
upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17For if I do this of my own will, I have a
reward, but not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship. 18What then is my
reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full
use of my right in the gospel.
19
For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more
of them. 20To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I
became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those
under the law. 21To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside
the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22To the
weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that
by all means I might save some. 23I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with
them in its blessings.
24
Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize?
So run that you may obtain it. 25Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it
to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26So I do not run aimlessly; I do not
box as one beating the air. 27But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after
preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
ALLELUIA AND VERSE [STAND] ................................................... LSB PAGE 205
HOLY GOSPEL READING .................................................... ST. MARK 1:29-39
The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the 1st chapter. Glory to You, O Lord.
29
And immediately [Jesus] left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew,
with James and John. 30Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they
told him about her. 31And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever
left her, and she began to serve them.
32
That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by
demons. 33And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34And he healed many who
were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the
demons to speak, because they knew him.
35
And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a
desolate place, and there he prayed. 36And Simon and those who were with him searched for
him, 37and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38And he said to
them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came
out.” 39And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out
demons.
This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to You, O Christ.
